Does the devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil? It is, at the very least, a question of definitions."

A year after Harry's death, Ginny decides to put the pain behind her. As an Auror trainee chosen for undercover work, her excitement turns to anger when she finds out she'll be living with Draco Malfoy as his girlfriend.

oo! and it was funny, I only got pulled out of the story once, and that's cause we just learned about tympanic membranes in class and I had to giggle and point for a second xP

AHHH! Ilovethisstory.

hokay, so it didn't seem to register half my review. odd, but whatever.

I kind of can't wait til the papers have a field day ^_^ ...I just think it'll be fun.

and I usually don't like stories in the first person, but here it seems to make it...more personal. Like what Ginny's feeling really IS what I'm feeling, more because it's from her POV. I like it! And I'm glad you decided to write it that way, it works well.

Author's Response: thanks! i love how you branched out to things you dont normally read and still enjoyed my humble little story. the next update should be coming mid this week, hopefully. =)

One heartbroken witch, one Death Eater wizard, a dash of Firewhisky and a Muggle pub all add up to a dark and twisted romance with buckets of angst and a shot of humour. “Be careful, Gin. Not only is he a little unbalanced, but he’s also got the worst of the wizarding world out to kill him. Call me if you need me.”

lmao, I love this. and it's all so, so true. A few are unavoidable, particularly 3, 4, and 6 (because he changed during HBP, so that's kind of canon). And the way you phrased #8 just cracked me up "She usually gasps, cries, hugs him, and all that rot. However, sometimes, in Fics set at a later year, Draco does have the dark mark. In situations like these, he has reformed and when he shows it to Ginny she usually gasps, cries, hugs him, and traces it." --made me think of more than a few fics I know with both of those (insanely similar) situations.

very nice =D

Author's Response: Hehe, I was just covering all my bases really. I had someone read it before I posted and she went, \"But she\'s naked. In the shower with Harry.\" So just being cautious. ;p\r\n\r\nThank you! I was worried it wouldn\'t really get her state across since it was filled with so many short, terse sentences. So thank you again. One big blowup Draco doll for you. ;D
